Cleveland Indians outfielder Leonys Martin is set to be released from the hospital today after fighting a life-threatening bacterial infection, the team announced Sunday.
Martin had been getting treatment at the Cleveland Clinic and listed in stable condition. He was moved out of intensive care on Thursday.
"It's beyond a relief," Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said.
Cleveland had placed Martin on the disabled list on Aug. 9 with what they called a non-baseball condition.
Martin has only played in six games with the Indians after they acquired him in a trade with the Detroit Tigers on July 31.
